—Miko—
There were five trolls following you. They all wore heavy jackets, potentially of the armored variety. You couldn’t see all of them clearly – some provided cover for the others – but they probably were all armed. You saw a second shotgun, a big steel pipe, and another pistol. They all rode choppers, sturdy Harleys that showed lots of weekly hours of maintenance and love. You suspected they practically lived with their bikes, so naturally did they ride the big machines.

<<Leroy>>//I'll worry about the driving, you worry about the shooting yeah?//

Leaning out the window slightly, Joel glared at the troll bikers following them. He considered the sleep spell from before, but discarded it as too risky for the amount of power he would be channeling and the trail it would leave in the astral. Instead he considered the vehicles themselves and wondered what might happen to a chopper if something happened to one of its tires.

Picking the leftmost troll, he experimented with that one, glaring at it as he sent a charge of destructive energy, growling quietly as he did so. The shaking of the car combined with the awkwardness of the angle messed with his concentration and his control over the forces involved was less sure and more painful.

Force 3 Powerbolt, targeting front tire of left-most motorcycle: Spellcasting (4) + Magic (5) + Combat Spec (2) + Mentor Spirit (2) - Distraction (1) (12d6.hits(5)=3). Will use only 1 net hit.

Drain DV: 2S (3S if a net hit)
Drain resist: Magic (5) + Intuition (5) (10d6.hits(5)=0) WELP
Drain MDV: 2-3S

Now I just figure out if I dealt more damage to the  tire, or to myself. Woooo!

[Ren]

You were completely baffled by the spell not having any effect whatsoever. Its energies disspated harmlessly around the targeted bike, causing you a minor headache. On the up side, the trolls probably didn't even notice you trying anything "funny", they are occupied by bigger and more obvious targets.

[Ren]

The trolls also throttled aggressively, trying to keep up with the Shin-Hyung. They hooted in ecstasy, obviously enjoying the game.

In the next minute, Matt saw that with simple speed, it wasn’t possible to get away. The streets were not all straight, and as you got further from the warehouse, some traffic started to hinder your advance.

"stunbolt the trolls or kill the bikes," Jade shouted as she accelerated, "try to hit the leader."
She tried to get closer to the car, which should be possible now they were in traffic as her bike could squeeze in holes the car, even with a better driver, could not.  It was strange for her to hope for a police patrol, but that would at least make their pursuers go away.


OOC: taking the required action to control the bike.

[Csjarrat]

<<//Miko; Break left//>>
Sensing they were running out of options as the traffic drained his speed advantage, he decided it was time to start getting serious.
Fuck you ugly trolls and fuck your shiny chrome too, see how you like this you cocksucker..
Matt broke to the right, forcing the ganger into a horrible choice: very heavy braking, rear end the shin-hyung or play with the oncoming traffic?

[Ren]

The troll heading the chase didn’t think Matt would brake and make a sudden change of direction. In a split-second decision, he broke to the right, onto the pavement. He miraculously kept his bike under perfect control, starting to shout a raging tirade at the car.

Leroy swayed wildly during Matt’s maneuver, bumping his shoulder into the rear window frame. ”GEROFF, MOTHAFUCKAS!” he shouted then pulled the trigger twice. One of the shot hit, finding the troll in the middle of a maneuver trying to avoid the flechettes, but the momentum wasn't enough to cause a crash.

[Ren]

The troll on the pavement wasn’t satisfied with bad language. As soon as he heard the shots, he drew his own gun and took a snap-shot at Joel.

[Ren]

Drawing back in the car to avoid the shots, Joel looked out and concentrated on the troll on the right side of the car. He gathered his energies and sent them into the attacker, causing him to stumble and lose control, swerving than crashing horridly into a parking car. That one would be out of the game for sure.

The other trolls began to draw their own weapons as an answer. Two grabbed shotguns, using the handle-bar to stabilize their weapons. The wounded one took a shot at Leroy, still leaning out of the car, the other, joined by the third troll grabbing a pistol, targeted Miko.

The last pursuer desperately tried to catch up.

[farothel]

Miko spotted the trolls taking their weapons and she stood on her brakes.  Some bullets and a load of flechettes flew where she would have been if she hadn't.  This off course meant she was at their level now, but that was less of a problem, since the shotguns were unwieldy, they could only shoot to the side with difficulty, so she wouldn't have to worry too much about those.  Drawing her own pistol, she shot at one of the bike's front tires.  That way she could take them out with one shot instead of using multiple ones.  As soon as she took her Warhawk out, her smartgun system activated on her cybereye's HUD.  The loud bang of the heavy pistol was drowned out by the roar of the bikes, but this was drawing way too much attention.


called shot to the front tire of the bike of the guy with the shotgun who shot at her.
agility 5 + pistols 3 + smartgun 2 - called shot 4 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=3)
3 hits, DV 6P + net hits, -2 AP

[Ren]

Miko’s maneuver divided the trolls. The one shooting at Leroy still chased the car, paying his full attention to it, while the other one with a shotgun desperately tried to maneuver so that Miko wasn’t in an advantageous position. The one that was lagging, however, came closer to her than she liked, fumbling under his jacket for probably a gun.

[Csjarrat]

The scene in the rear view sensor feed was one of carnage. His maneuver had seriously pissed off the Trolls and the lads in the back had caused a spectacular crash. That guy would probably die of his injuries, fast moving bikers rarely won arguments with stationary chunks of metal
//Miko: I'm going right at the next junction, fast//
Approaching the junction at speed, Matt dropped a gear, keeping the revs high as he slew the car to the right, applying a dab of handbrake to kick the arse end out. The traction control protested loudly at the abuse Matt was giving the rears so he mentally shut it down in a flicker of thought as he opened the throttle, slamming the car through the bend at speed.
How you like me now bitches?...

[Ren]

Matt’s maneuver came as a surprise even though Miko knew about it. She wouldn’t have thought it possible to turn so suddenly but Matt proved her wrong. He didn’t even bump the car to the one parking near the corner, although he only missed by a few centimeters. Leroy drew back inside with a torrent of swearwords, mere moments before he would have been squashed between the two car’s chassis.
The turn took the car around the corner. The building sitting there covered the pursuers who momentarily were out of sight.

[farothel]

Miko saw Matt take the turn to the right and knowing she would never be able to make the same turn, she turned to the left where she had a bit more room.  Only the one behind her had a good view on what was happening.
"I went left," she said to the rest of the team.
